HOLYOKE — A motorcycle chase that began in Holyoke around 1 a.m. Wednesday ended about 25 minutes later in Springfield's North End, where the rider ditched his bike and apparently fled on foot.

Authorities had yet to make an arrest as of 9 a.m., according to Holyoke Police Sgt. David O'Connell.

Holyoke officers attempted to pull over the motorcyclist for a traffic infraction, but he failed to stop for them, O'Connell said. That sparked a police pursuit that spanned multiple jurisdictions, including West Springfield and Springfield.

The suspect – a heavyset man with tattoos who's about 5-foot-9 – got onto Interstate 91 and headed south, exiting the highway at Exit 10 in Springfield. He abandoned the bike near the Mobil station at Main and Dover streets in the city's North End, then fled on foot toward the apartment complex behind the gas station, according to Springfield police.

The bike was impounded by authorities, who continue to investigate. It was not immediately known if police were able to identify the owner of the vehicle.

West Springfield and Massachusetts State Police also responded to the incident.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to call Holyoke police at (413) 322-6900 or Springfield police at (413) 787-6302.
